'Is this an MSNBC debate?' Ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly calls second GOP debate 'terrible'
SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA: Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly reacted to the second GOP Presidential Debate in poor taste and compared it to the poor standards set by an MSNBC debate in the past.
Kelly took a jab at her formal rival network MSNBC as well as her former employer for not adhering to the basic qualitative benchmarks of a Presidential debate on Wednesday (September 27) night in Simi Valley, California.
The 52-year-old who has held the honor of hosting a debate in the past was fuming at her ex-employer for their poor choice of questions and bashed their unpreparedness on the night.
Furthermore, Kelly continuously tweeted about the debate, raising concerns about the banality of the answers from candidates to pointing out the problems with the venue.
Megyn Kellys uses MSNBC’s name to mock the GOP Debate hosted by Fox Business
Kelly runs a podcast called ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ where she hosts political commentators and public figures to talk about the trending news topics.
It was only expected her to react to the debate if she found something unworthy.
Just a few minutes into the debate, Kelly started tweeting rigorously and at the very first instant, pointed out all that was wrong with it.
She criticized the lighting at the venue, called Mike Pence weird, pointed out that Ron DeSantis was sweaty, and more importantly, asked Vivek Ramaswamy to get a haircut.
The lighting is terrible. The Qs lack any charge which is why we are getting these boring answers.

The Mike Pence sniffing is weird.
Vivek needs a haircut.
DeSantis looks sweaty.
“Donald Duck” line was lame.
Certainly hope it gets better from here.
However, the biggest concern was the poor quality of the questions.
Her tweet read, "The lighting is terrible. The Qs lack any charge which is why we are getting these boring answers. The Mike Pence sniffing is weird. Vivek needs a haircut. DeSantis looks sweaty. The “Donald Duck” line was lame. Certainly hope it gets better from here.”
Later Kelly took her mockery to the next level and unapologetically compared it to MSNBC, stating, “Is this an MSNBC debate?”
Is this an msnbc debate?
